7. Lake Danao
Lake Danao is one of the recommended lake destinations in the Philippines located in Leyte. It is a guitar-shaped lake covering an area of 148 hectares with a high altitude of 2,130 feet above sea level and that means the temperature is almost the same in Tagaytay. It is a quiet and a soothing place to relax. The best thing to do here is to have lunch with family or loved ones in a floating raft in the lake. Swimming, kayaking and canoeing are also fun things to do. There is also a viewing deck from atop to witness the beauty of the entire lake surrounded with mountain ranges.
8. San Juanico Bridge
San Juanico Bridge is one of the most visited tourist spots in Leyte and the longest bridge in the Philippines spanning a body of sea water. It is a $21.9 Million bridge constructed within 4 years as a gift of Ferdinand Marcos (10th President of the Philippines) to his wife Imelda Marcos. The bridge connects Samar and Leyte Provinces with a length of 2.16 kilometers. One can witness the beautiful view of the sunrise and sunset, amazing panoramic view of the sea and islands, small whirlpools and passing boats. In the early morning or afternoon, this is a favorite destination for joggers, photography enthusiast and nature lovers (romantic couples).
